After rebirth, the daughter of the marquisate went crazy

He glared at Le An and said, "Le An, apologize to Princess Lan Zhi. Don't you know the basic respect?"

Princess Le'an stared at the eldest prince with wide eyes, "Brother, how can you stand on their side!"

The eldest prince didn't even look at her. He said to Emperor Jingyou, "Father, today's banquet is to welcome the envoys from South Vietnam. It would be bad if such a small matter caused discord between the two countries."

Emperor Jingyou looked at the eldest prince thoughtfully and said calmly, "Le'an, apologize to Princess Lanzhi."

Emperor Jingyou had spoken, and Princess Le'an had to apologize no matter how unwilling she was. "It's my fault, I apologize."

Princess Lanzhi didn't say anything, but Lord Xiahou asked in a cold voice, "May I ask Your Majesty Daqing, is this princess chosen to marry into the Nanyue Alliance?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole hall fell silent for a moment.

Marriage?

Is Daqing going to send the princess to marry?

Sending Princess Le'an to Nanyue for marriage? Didn't Princess Le'an just get engaged to the Prince of Yingguo?

The smile on Emperor Jingyou's originally pleasant face gradually faded.

Lord Xiahou looked at Emperor Jingyou's expression and laughed sarcastically, "Didn't your country's Crown Prince mention this to His Majesty?"

Emperor Jingyou cast a sharp gaze at the eldest prince. A flash of panic crossed his face, and he stood up with a stiff upper lip. "Father, I haven't had time to tell you about this. South Vietnam is sending a princess to marry, and they also asked our country to send a princess to South Vietnam. This will serve as the basis for peace talks."

Le An said loudly, "Father, I cannot share your worries about the marriage. I'm engaged." She turned and looked at Chang Ning with a gloating look, "Chang Ning, my third brother was worried about your marriage. It seems that he doesn't have to worry anymore. Among the princesses of the royal family, you are the only one of the right age. I, your sister, would like to congratulate your younger sister."

Even the envoys from South Vietnam could see the obvious gloating.

De Fei pulled Le An in panic, "Le An, shut up!"

Emperor Jingyou's expression suddenly changed. He looked at Le An coldly. He knew that his daughter was spoiled by Concubine De and had a spoiled personality. He didn't expect her to be so tactless and not have the bearing of a princess in front of foreigners!

Le An then realized how inappropriate his words were. His proud and arrogant face suddenly changed, and he knelt down in panic, "Father, I am your son, I am just worried about Changning and have no other intentions!"

Concubine De hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Le An has just drunk a lot of wine and is already talking nonsense. I will take her to sober up right away!"

Emperor Jingyou said coldly, "Defei, please help Le An sober up."

"Yes, yes, I obey your command."

After saying that, Concubine De and the palace maids dragged Princess Le'an, whose legs were so weak that she couldn't stand up, out.

Princess Lanzhi's eyes showed no change of emotion. Instead, Lord Xiahou sneered, "So it's not this princess who is lucky, but our country."

These words slapped everyone in Daqing in the face.

Le'an has brought shame to foreign countries. Originally, Daqing was the victorious country, and its status was naturally higher than that of the defeated Nanyue Kingdom. Now that Princess Le'an has made such a fuss, Daqing has lost all its face!

Suddenly, Shen Yanli's clear and mellow voice rang out, "Father, why should our country, a victorious nation, send the princess as a bride? She's just a defeated general. If you don't accept it, just keep fighting!"

The eldest prince hurriedly said, "Third brother! Stop talking nonsense! War has always been the biggest drain on a nation's strength and burdens the people. Since we can negotiate, why sacrifice the lives of so many soldiers? Don't act on impulse!"

He turned to Emperor Jingyou and said, "Father, this is all my fault. I haven't been back to Kyoto in years. I was so overwhelmed with the joy and excitement of seeing you and my family that I forgot about such an important matter. Please punish me. Don't let my mistakes hinder the peace talks between the two countries."

The eldest prince's expression was filled with grief. "For all these years, I've been on the southwestern border, witnessing vibrant young lives. One moment they were laughing and joking with me, and the next moment, war broke out. The next time I saw them, they were just cold corpses."

"There are too many such cases. I, your son, really do not want to see anyone else sacrificed or died. The king of Nanyue also has the same concern, which is why he came to Daqing for peace talks with sincerity."

"Father, fighting a war is not only hard on the soldiers, but also on the people of Daqing!"

The eldest prince's words were so sad and touching that everyone present was moved.

Yes, war has always been the most expensive thing, so it would be best if we can avoid it.

Everyone looked at Princess Changning, as if if Princess Changning agreed to the marriage, the peace talks would be a perfect success.

Shen Yanli sneered, "So, what Big Brother is saying is that the great victory won by the young lives of our good men of Daqing is for our country to send a princess to a defeated country and kowtow to a defeated country, all for the sake of a peace agreement that is floating in the sky and who knows whether it will ever come true? Even if it does come true, can the other party abide by it?"

The eldest prince's expression also turned cold. "Third brother, I know Changning is your biological sister. You are very reluctant to let her go to marry, but this is for Daqing and for the people of Daqing. As a princess of the royal family, this is the sacrifice she should make and the responsibility she should bear!"

Shen Yanli gave him a cold look and asked, "Big Brother, you seem to be very concerned about this peace talk?"

"Of course I take it seriously. Whether it's for the soldiers and generals on the southwest border or for the people of Daqing, peace talks are the best outcome. Third brother, don't let your selfishness make you forget your responsibilities. You are the King of Chu of Daqing! Not just Changning's brother!"

Shen Yanli suddenly curled his lips and looked at the eldest prince with interest. "Brother, it seems that I still don't understand my attitude. As a prince of Daqing, you are so flattering to the defeated country of Nanyue. Brother, do you think your attitude is right?"

The eldest prince's expression suddenly changed, and panic flashed in his eyes. He hurriedly said, "Third brother, please don't be unreasonable. I am doing this for the smooth progress of the peace talks!" He said sincerely to Emperor Jingyou, "Your Majesty, I understand that Third Brother doesn't want his own sister to marry, and I understand his heartache. But this peace talk is a big deal for our country. Since Nanyue has sent its princess here with full sincerity, it is only right for our country to send a princess to marry as a token of its sincerity."

Emperor Jingyou looked at the eldest prince dimly, "I also attach great importance to this peace talk."

The eldest prince was delighted and said with a smile, "Father, your son's whole heart is for Daqing." He looked at Changning with distressed eyes, "Changning, it's not that your eldest brother is cold-hearted. Your eldest brother is doing this for the country. Please understand me." He bowed deeply to Changning.
